Grassley to hold meetings next week in Northwest Iowa


WASHINGTON – Senator Chuck Grassley will meet with Iowans in George, Ashton, Sheldon, Orange City, Akron, Sioux City, Aurelia, Ida Grove, Mapleton and Charter Oak next week.


“I look forward to these meetings to listen to comments and respond to questions.  My town meetings are open to the public, and everyone is welcome.  I also appreciate the opportunity to go to workplaces to talk with people who couldn’t otherwise get to a town meeting,” Grassley said.  “Representative government is a two-way street and is strengthened by dialogue between elected officials and the people we represent.”


Grassley has held at least one meeting with Iowans in every one of the state’s 99 counties since 1980, when he was first elected to serve in the U.S. Senate.
